They  became regulars on the festival circuit throughout the 1990s and in 1998 were signed to Sugar Hill records, releasing their Alison Krauss produced album in 2000. The album fused traditional bluegrass with jazz, classical and rock influences and helped to kick start a progressive bluegrass movement which continues today. Two more albums followed before the band split in 2006 to focus on solo projects.
Sara’s self titled debut features contributions from her Nickel Creek band mates along with roots revival duo Gillian Welch and David Rawlings
